TOPIC. 

Which Treats of Social Manners and Customs at the 

Table. 

CHAPTER I. 

No. 1. --Perhaps it is quite a simple occurrence to eat your 
breakfast, your dinner, or your supper, yet the gentleman or 
lady, and the low-bred man or woman, are not more strongly 
contrasted than when at the table. The rules on this subject 
of table etiquette when in company, apply equally well to the 
home circle and family table, with perhaps a few unimportant 
exceptions. 

No. 2. — Be prompt at meals. To be late is a wrong to your 
host or to your family, it is not calculated to promote good feel- 



Examine our New Cabinet Mounts showing Lithograph of 
Building, and see what a fine finish the double enamel gives the 
pictures. From this date each cabinet photo will be put in 
a tissue envelope to preserve the Satin Finish. Remember, 
first-class work only ; no pains spared to please our customers ; 
an unlimited number of sittings until satisfied ; and Cabinets 
still at $3.00 per dozen, at the largest Studio on the Hudson. 

Respectfully,

No. 3. — If an invitation to dine is received, make no delay in 
replying, whether it is your intention to accept or decline. 

No. 4. — Don't seat yourself until the ladies are seated, or at a 
dinner party, until your host or hostess gives the signal. 

No. 5. — We sometimes hear the phrase "comfjany manners." 
Practice "company manners" at home, for if you neglect them 
when at home you are sure to be rusty when in company. Ex- 
tend the same courtesies to members of your own family as you 
would extend to those with whom you are not so well acquainted 
when in company. 

No. 6. — Sit at the proper distance from the table, not a foot- 
away, nor jammed against it. 

No. 7. — Bibs are for children and are to be used in the nursery, 
therefore don't tuck your napkin under your chin or spread it 
upon your breast.

CHAPTER II. 

No. 8.— When the dinner is announced, the sign to leave the 
parlor will be given by the hostess. Each gentleman will prob- 
ably be asked to escort a lady to the table. This should be done 
in the most polite manner. 

At the table the gentlemen should wait until the ladies are 
seated before taking their places. 

No. 9. — In leaving the parlor, the gentleman should pass out 
first, the lady following, holding his arm. 

No. 10.— When the door of the dining room is reached the 
lady should drop the gentleman's arm. 

No. 11. — The gentleman should pass in and and then wait on 
one side of the door until the lady passes to the place assigned 
to her at the table.

No. 12. — There are a hundred and one points to be observed 
in conduct at the table, which, although perhaps not necessary, 
are yet the ear marks, by which the well-bred person can be dis- 
tinguished. 

No. 13. — When you eat soup do so in as quiet a manner as 
possible. 

Some people try to be polite 

When they abroad do roam, 
But act like very pigs and bears

words, do not ''stuff."

No. 18. — If your host or hostess passes you a plate, keep it ? 
especially if you have chosen the food which is upon it. If you 
pass it to your neighbor you may be giving him dishes for 
which he does not care and which are distasteful to him. 

No. 19. — If, in the course of a meal, you should happen to 
discover something wrong with your food, do not speak of it 
but pass your plate to the waiter and he will bring you another. 

No. 20. — Take good care of the lady yon escort to the table. 
See to it that she is well supplied with all that is necessary for

CHAPTER IV. 

No. 22. — Let your chair rest squarely upon the floor, do not 
tip it back or lounge in it. 

No. 23. — Avoid all manner of gesticulation, it is quite danger- 
ous and is considered bad taste. 

No. 24. — Let the conversation be carried on in an ordinary 
low tone of voice. 

No. 25. — Do not attempt to speak when your mouth contains 
food, you are almost sure to fail. 

No. 26. — Do not put upon your plate more food than you can 
use ; it is better to be helped the second time. 

No. 27. — The knife is to be used very little ; it is proper to 
use it for the purpose of cutting your food but never as a means 
of conveying the food to the mouth. 

No. 28.— Place bones or fruit seed on the edge of your plate 
or on a plate for that purpose, never on the table cloth.

No. 29. — In case a dish which you do not like is passed to 
you, decline it but under any circumstances do not explain the 
reason for your dislike, it may not be agreeable to your 



neighbors.

more nice than wise. It is quite possible to be fastidious. Do

things as decency and good order. Common sense will tell you

CHAPTER VI. 

No. 38. — Do not drink from your saucer. While avoiding 
this do not take notice of a similar error made by another. 

A story is told of an English nobleman who, once upon a 
time gave a grand dinner, at which many of the fashionable 
families of the realm were present. It happened that a rustic 
or countryman was present, one who was not well versed in the 
manners and customs of good society. During the dinner the 
countryman poured his coffee into his saucer, much to the 
amusement of the other guests. The host noticing the amuse- 
ment and its cause, quietly poured his coffee into his saucer and 
drinking from the saucer in that manner rebuked the ill-man- 
nered guests.

No. 39. — If the meat or fish upon your plate is too rare or too 
well done and you do not eat it, give for an excuse that you pre- 
fer some other dish before you ; but never tell your host that 
his cook has made the dishes uneatable. 

Poets have sung of other worlds,

CHAPTER VII. 

No. 40. — If you wish to use your handkerchief, and cannot 
leave the table, turn your head away and as quickly as possible 
put the handkerchief in your pocket again. 

No. 41. — Do not use your own knife or fork to help either 
yourself or another. There is always one before the dish at 
every well served table, and it is proper to use that. 

No. 42. — Try to accustom yourself to using your fork with the 
left hand when eating, in order to avoid the awkwardness of 
constantly passing the fork from your left hand to the right and 
back again when cutting your food and eating it. 

No. 43. — It is becoming the rule that persons eat too fast. 
Take plenty of time, enjoy the meal and save yourself from 
becoming the victim of dyspepsia.

rale is not to eat anything with a spoon that can easily be eaten 
with a fork. 

No. 62. --Do not leave your knife and fork on your plate when 
you send for a second supply. 

No. 63. — Avoid, if possible, the appearance of trying hard not 
to be vulgar. It is perhaps better to make a few mistakes than 
to be obviously struggling not to make them. 

No. 64. — Perhaps it is unnecessary to advise the ladies not to 
come to the breakfast table in curl papers or to advise the 
gentlemen not to wear their dressing gowns at meals or to sit at 
the table in their shirt sleeves ; the last is very vulgar.

CHAPTER XL 

No. 66. — In connection with the last rule let me protest 
against the English fashion of omitting napkins at breakfast. 

No. 67. — Do not leave your spoon in your tea or coffee cup ; 
if this is done it quite frequently leads to disaster, viz: the 
spilling of the contents of the cup. 

No. 68. — Don't forget that the lady next you has the first 
claim upon your attention. 

No. 69. — Endeavor to be perfectly at ease, an embarrassed 
person may make many stupid blunders at the table. 

No. 70. — In case you happen to drop your knife or fork do 
not be disconcerted ; ask the servant for another. Do not under 
any circumstances call attention to the blunder of yourself or 
another but let it pass without notice and without comment.

Which Treats of Dress and Personal Habits. 

CHAPTER I. 
No. 1. — ''Cleanliness is next to Godliness." 
Be tidy in dress and habits. Make careful note of this rule. 
Neatness is of great importance. 

No. 2. — Don't wear soiled linen. Never be seen wearing a 
dirty collar or pair of cuffs. 

No. 3. — Be very particular about the little things. Do not 
neglect your finger nails, keep tliem well cleaned. 

No. 4. — Nothing looks quite as ludicrous as to see the use of 
hair dye. It's use is easily perceptible and usually makes a 
laughing stock of the one who makes use of it.

46 



No. 5. — Formerly it was considered allowable to make use of 
liair oil and pomades, but at present it is looked upon as vulgar- 
No. 6. — Let your hat rest squarely upon your head ; do not 
wear it on one side nor yet on the back of your head, one is row- 
dyish the other countryfied. 

No. 7. — Don't walk with your toes turning in, nor with a slov- 
enly, lazy gait. Do not take too long a stride nor yet too short 
a stride ; walk erectly and firmly and at the same time, in a 
simple unaffected manner. 

No. 8. — Pockets were not made to carry the hands, nor were 
the arm holes of your vest made as receptacles for your thumbs. 

No, 9. — The habit of chewing gum seems to be becoming quite 
prevalent. This habit cannot be too strongly condemned, and 
should not be indulged in.

CHAPTER II. 

No. 11. — You should never blow your nose in the presence of 
others if you can possibly avoid it ; above all things don't blow 
your nose with your fingers. 

No. 12. — An eminent man has said : In all the discussions 
and differences of opinion as to what constitutes a gentleman 
all disputants unite in excluding the man who blows his nose 
with his fingers. 

No. 13. — Avoid wearing a grin on your face and you will 
avoid looking destitute of wits. 

No. 14. — A smiling face is pleasant to see. Cultivate a cheer- 
ful contented look. It will do your friends a great deal of 
good and add much to your own pleasure. 

No. 15. — Avoid the habit of letting your lip drop and mouth 
remain open. "Shut your mouth" is the advice of a learned

man who lias written on the subject of Etiquette. Breath

No. 16. — Sleep with your mouth closed. Keep it closed ex- 
cept when you open it for a purpose. An open mouth indicates 
feebleness of character, while the habit affects the teeth and the 
general health.

CHAPTER I. 

No. 1. — Avoid self-consciousness. Be so thoughtful of the 
comfort and happiness of others that you have no time to think 
of yourself and your appearance. 

No. 2. — In making an introduction, present gentlemen to 
ladies, young men to elderly men, and young women to elderly 
women. 

No. 3. — Should you be asked to play or sing, do not refuse 
unless you do not wish to perform. Do not refuse simply for 
the purpose of being coaxed ; it does not appear well. 

No. 4. — Do not try to monopolize the conversation or talk in 
a loud tone.

No. 5. — It is not polite to whisper in company ; reserve what 
you have to say for another occasion. 

]S T o. 6.— Avoid talking about yourself or about affairs which 
interest you only, do not talk about your ill health or your 
afflictions of any kind. 

No. 7. — Don't interrupt; it shows lack of respect, and is ex- 
tremely rude. 

No. 8. — Difference of opinion is one thing, contradiction is 
another. While the first is no cause of offense, the second is 
highly improper.

CHAPTER II. 

No. 9. — When you have a story to tell, tell it in a concise 
manner ; do not go into every detail and branch off at every 
word — be direct, compact, clear, and get to the point as soon as 
you can. 

No. 10.— While observing the above rule do not be so rude as 
to interrupt another in his story, however long or tiresome it 
may be. 

No. 11.— Be pleasant and affable; do not respond in mon- 
osyllables, this usually puts a damper on the feelings of the 
one who is talking with you. 

No. 12. — Do not be impatient or appear listless or indifferent

No. 14. — When you are in company do not open a book and

CHAPTER I. 

No. 1. — Don't fail to keep to the right of the promenade. 
This is a rule which is often violated and such violation occas- 
ions a great deal of annoyance. 

No. 2. — Avoid jostling people on the street; don't elbow or 
push. In case you should happen to stumble against anyone, 
apologize immediately. Be polite. 

No. 3. — Don't stare at people or laugh at their peculiarities ; 
it is exceedingly rude to do so. 

No. 4. — Don't stop acquaintances and stand in the centre of 
the sidewalk, forcing every one out of their path. On such oc-

casions draw your acquaintance one side. 

No. 5. — Don't carry cane or umbrella in a crowd horizontally, 
this is very bad practice and is the cause of many mishaps. 

No. 6— It is very ungentlemanly to stand in a public place 
and stare at the passers by ; do not obstruct the entrances to 
public places. 

Make not with jewels, rings and gems 

Your form to shine and glitter ;

CHAPTER II. 

No. 7. — If you will smoke, do so in the place where it will be 
the least offensive. It detracts much from the dignity of a 
gentleman to see him walking along the street with a cigar in 
his mouth. Above all do not smoke while walking with a 
lady. 

No. 8. — Don't expectorate on the sidewalk. Go to the curb- 
stone and discharge the saliva into the gutter. Men who eject 
great streams of tobacco juice on the sidewalk or on the floors 
of public vehicles ought to be driven from civilized society. 

No. 9. — Raise your hat to every lady acquaintance you meet. 

No. 10. — If you have occasion to speak with, or perform some 
service for a lady with whom you are not acquainted, raise your 
hat in respect.

Nor lisp, nor whine, nor hum it,

CHAPTER III. 

No. 12. — Be gentle, courteous and kind to children. There is 
no surer token of a low, vulgar mind than unkindness to little 
ones whom you may meet in the streets. 

No. 13. — A true gentleman never stops to consider what may 
be the position of any woman whom it is in his power to aid in the 
street. He will assist an Irish washwoman with her large basket 
or bundle over a crossing, or carry over the little charges of a dis- 
tressed negro nurse, with the same gentle courtesy which he would 
extend toward the lady who was stepping from her private 
carriage. The true spirit of chivalry makes courtesy due to the 
sex not to the position of the individual. 

No. 14. — Offer your seat in any public conveyance to a lady 
wdio is standing. It is often quite as great a kindness and mark 
of courtesy to take a child in your lap.

No. J 5. —Never join a lady whom you may meet without first 
asking her permission to do so. 

No. 16. — Don't be servile to your superiors or arrogant to-

one case and exhibit a regard for the feelings of people, what- 
ever their station, in the other case. 

No. 17. — Leave tobacco severely alone. It is exceedingly dis- 
gusting to see a man continually expectorating a quantity of 
tobacco juice. No gentleman will be so thoughtless as to ex- 
pectorate upon the sidewalk or in a public conveyance. 

No. 18. — The habit of smoking is not quite as offensive as that 
of chewing, yet we can but protest against the former. Gentle- 
men never smoke in the presence of ladies without first obtain- 
ing permission. 

No. 19. — The habit of cigarrette smoking is becoming extreme- 
ly prevalent. This habit is offensive to a person of refinement.

It is almost if not quite impossible for the cigarrette smoker to

the use of cigarrettes. The hands become discolored and the 
breath repellant.

CHAPTER IV. 

No. 20.— Extreme propriety should be observed in dress. Be

meanness, too great expense is extravagence. 

No. 21. — A young man may follow the fashion farther than a 
middle aged or elderly man, but let him avoid going to the ex- 
treme, if he would not be taken for an empty headed fop. 

No. 22. — Don't bolt without notice into anyone's private 
apartment. Respect always the privacy of your friends, how- 
ever intimate you may be with them. 

No. 23. — In connection with the above let it be said that it is 
improper to pick up letters, accounts or anything of a private 
character that is lying on another's desk. Avoid looking over 
another's shoulder when he is reading or writing.

No. 24. — It is a very common habit for one to twirl a chair or 
play with some object while listening to another. Do not do 
this, it is annoying and somewhat disrespectful. 

No. 25. — Avoid drumming with your fingers or beating a 
tattoo with your feet. Don't hum. Do nothing to annoy or in- 
convenience another.

CHAPTER V. 

No. 26. — Cleanliness and neatness are desirable habits but do 
not make your toilet in public, that is to say do 'not cleanse 
your ears, or your nose, or trim your finger nails when in the 
presence of others. 

No. 27. — There is a good rule for the dressing room: While 
you are engaged in dressing give your whole attention to it ; see 
that every detail is perfect and that each article is neatly ar- 
ranged. From the curl of your hair to the tip of your shoe 
let all be perfect in its make and arrangement, but as soon as you 
have left the mirror forget your dress. Nothing more betokens 
the coxcomb more decidedly than to see a man always fussing 
about his dress, pulling down his cuffs, playing with his 
mustache, pulling up his shirt collar or arranging his cravat.

TOPIC. 

Devoted Especially to the Interests of Children. 

CHAPTER I. 

While we believe in having children know and keep their 
place we also believe in their being taught where their place 
shall be to the effect that they shall not be driven from the table 
by "company." We often hear the remark "Children should 
be seen and not heard." We advocate an early training of chil- 
dren. If they are trained early there will be no need of keep- 
ing them from the table when visitors are present for fear that 
reproof will become necessary. 

No. 1. — Imitation is one of the most fully developed faculties 
of any that a child has ; therefore let the older ones be exceed- 
ingly careful how they conduct themselves lest they lead the 
little ones astray.

No. 2.— Never speak of the bright and witty sayings of a 
child in that child's presence. We often see this rule violated 
and the effect of such violation is very bad ; it has a tendency 
to puff up the child and make him conceited. 

To little ones, I speak in love, 

Hear what the proverbs say ; 
A forward mouth and pre verse lips 

Put from the far away.

CHAPTER II. 

No. 3. — Do not tease the children. We insist upon the ob- 
servance of this rule. Parents quite frequently are seen teasing 
their own children ; this is extremely bad practice and cannot 
be excused. 

No. 4. — Do not speak to the little ones of their "beaux" or 
encourage such talk by others, it may seem funny at the time 
but the effect is in most cases harmful. 

No. 5. — Make the lives of the children as happy as possible. 
Laugh with them, play with them in their joyful hours and 
when their little troubles arise sympathize with them, and, if 
you can, remove the cause of the trouble ; their small troubles 
are as heavy to them as the greater trials are to the adult. 

No. 6. — Remember that children are tender and can be easily 
moulded for good or evil.

No. 9. — Be very cautious that the little ones do not hear a 
dispute or. difference of opinion between father and mother. 

No. 10.- Do not ask a child which of his parents he loves the 
better, there should be no difference in this respect between 
father and mother. 

No. 11. — Do not ask the children about the private affairs of 
the family to which they belong. 

No. 12. — Teach the children to respect the truth and avoid 
deception. 

No. 13. — Begin early and see to it that the children do not

CHAPTER IV. 

No. 15. — These few rules relating to children may seem to be 
somewhat out of place in a book of this nature, yet we think 
the propriety of it will be seen when we think of the old saying: 
"As the twig is bent so the tree is inclined." 

No. 16. — Commence the training of the child at an early 
hour, it is much easier to form than to reform. 

Parents, be gentle with the child, 

And bear this truth in mind. 
That as you bend the tender twig 

The tree will be inclined. 

Don't nag, and gall the child to death, 

Nor chide, and scold and flout ; 
You perhaps may drive old Satin in 

But you can't drive him out.

Be firm, and say just what you mean, 

And do just what you say ; 
Children soon read your character 

And learn how to obey. 

We all are sculptors, we can make 

Or mar, the form divine, 
Then let our chisel only carve 

The graces that will shine.
